I've been on the healthy living, exercise (diet!) for about 3 weeks now. Had my first comment at work yesterday from someone who hadn't seen me for a couple of months - "you've list a lot if weight since I last saw you". It made my day to know that all my efforts are starting to make a noticeable difference.

Anyone else have any "feel good" experiences too?

I work from home 50% of the time and go into our Croydon office twice a week and visit my colleagues in Birmingham about once a month. Around about Xmas time I was getting lots of compliments as it was very noticeable then how much weight I'd lost (plus folk hadn't seen me for about 3-4 weeks).

I think it's the fact that it's now very obvious that I've lost weight that folk comment on the fact helps keep me on the straight and narrow and not think, "Oh well, I've done enough" and then fall back into my old ways.

I've also signed up for a 5K swimathon at the end of April so I'll have to keep swimming and that will help keep me trim and get me down to 85kg by then hopefully.
